Chapter 1490
Liang Chongxin was also very sorry for the performance of the Maqi Khan. Ya Ning is worthy of being an old fox who has been through war formations. When he smelled the slightest, he immediately adopted a strategy of defending and retreating. He abandoned such a large area of Ronesia and retreated directly into the central and northern part of Yuejing. Theoretically speaking, Ronesia is located in a mountainous area, and the Maqi Khan can completely resist based on the mountainous area, but Ya Ning keenly discovered the purpose of the Tang Dynasty. If the Maqi Khan did not withdraw his troops decisively, I am afraid that the Tang army will not only entangle with the Maqi Khan in Ronesia, but will directly advance towards Anjie and completely encircle and kill the entire territory annexed by Maqi Khan.
In the Khan Palace in Sanglin City, the atmosphere was solemn and strict. Bi Xili and Lei Juetian, with a gloomy face, sat opposite each other. The one who was a little anxious was the general of Dingguo Pu Tiancheng. The collapse of the situation in the east made Maqikhan's country panic for a while. The Tang army unexpectedly sent troops from the north of the Nanyang Alliance to conquer Gongming City in the south of Yuejing, which suddenly disrupted the plan of the Maqikhan Kingdom. Originally, the Khan Kingdom had been trying to
Relying on Ronesia's defense, the Tang army forced to enter the northern plains of Vietnam and Beijing, and used the Khanate's advantage to take the opportunity to fight and eliminate the Tang army in the northern plains of Vietnam and Beijing. However, now Gong Ming has lost, and the Tang army has continuously increased its troops to Gong Ming through the northern channel of the Nanyang Alliance, which directly threatened the security of the Anjie area. If Anjie is lost, the local hinterland of the Maqi Khanate will be open to the Tang army's edge, which will make the top leaders of the Khanate feel heartbroken.
"Jetian, what's the situation with the Liberians?" Bi Xili also showed such an ugly look for the first time. Ronesia had only lasted for less than two weeks and was lost. This was very unexpected. He originally wanted to use the mountainous terrain of Ronesia to drag the main force of the Tang army to tightly hold down the main force of the Tang army, but he never expected that the Tang army would actually go around the advantage of Ronesia's natural barrier, eat Gong Ming in one bite, and force the Khanate army to withdraw from Ronesia. Bi Xili also knew that Ya Ning had no other way. Once the Tang army advanced north along the eastern edge of Ronesia, he was afraid that the six corpses would be blocked by the Tang army in the mountains of Ronesia. Even if they could break free from the cage, they would suffer heavy losses. Now at least they retained their vitality and used the Yuejing Plain and the Tang army to have a try.
"I'm afraid it will take some time. The Liberians said that they are not fully prepared and they will take some time." Lei Juetian lowered his eyelids and said calmly.
"It will take some time? Should we wait until the Tang army attacks our land?" Putiancheng said hatefully: "These Liberians are not reliable at all. If they let them go, how should we deal with it?"
"Tiancheng, the Liberians understand as much as they are. We are really finished. They can't last long. There is no need to worry about this. The rulers of the four Liberian countries are not stupid people. On this issue, their views are consistent with us. However, the Tang army launched too fast and actually chose the hottest time to send troops. Originally, Khan and I both judged that the Tang army would launch an attack after October, but it seems that Li Wufeng noticed the joining forces between the Liberians and us, so he was forced to do so.
We couldn't wait to start first. What we need to do now is to stabilize the situation, make the Tang army unable to succeed in a short period of time, and create opportunities for the Liberians. When the Liberians launch in the north, it will be when the Tang army is in trouble." Although Lei Juetian's face was gloomy, the perseverance between his eyebrows still made people feel that he did not lose confidence. "The problem now is that we must defend Yuejing and Anjie, and hold the Tang army tightly. Even if we pay some price, I think it is worth it."
"Jetian, do you think we can last until the Liberians win?" Biheli was also worried about the future for the first time.
"Your Majesty, I think we should do it. Now the Tang army is at the end of its strength. Although they have seized Gongming City, we have already responded to Anjie. As for the central part of Yuejing, we have a strong city to rely on and the advantage of mobile cavalry. I believe that the Tang army will not be stupid and provocative. There should be no big problem if it is dragged on. What I am considering is whether it is necessary for us to retake Gongming City before this, or to put it in the Liberians in Dongdong before taking action." Lei Juetian was very calm, and his words were full of confidence.
Bi Xili and Putian Chengdu did not expect that the Minister of State thought of not only persisting in the war, but also considering retaking Gongming City. This made both of them feel a little sincerely admired each other's persistence and tenacity. However, no matter how much they admired, Bi Xili and Putiancheng were not optimistic about the situation of the war. The Anjie provincial army had just been arranged, and the defense in that area had always been relatively weak. Now the primary issue is to strengthen control over this area. Recovering Gongming City was not the time for both of them.
"Jetian, do you think the time is right to retake Gongming City?" Although Bi Xili did not agree with the counterattack against Gongming at this time, he always respected himself, the Minister of State. Since the other party put forward this idea, it must be reasonable.
"I have been thinking about this issue. Gongming City has no city walls, which seems easy to attack and difficult to defend, but there are waterways and complex terrain. Our cavalry cannot exert its strength. If we want to conquer it, it will consume a lot of our strength. Maiqili, a fool, actually wanted to use this method to deal with the Tang people, and instead pushed the Yuejing people to the Tang people. This is our biggest mistake. We have lost the help of the Yuejing people, and the Yuejing people have now become the best helper of the Tang people. It will not be easy to seize Gongming City. Fortunately, the Tang army did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack Anjie, otherwise we would be even more troublesome. But if we allow the Tang army to gain a foothold in Gongming City, we are afraid that the Tang army will continue to send more troops to Gongming through the north of the Nanyang Alliance, so that our situation in Yuejing and Anjie will deteriorate."
Lei Juetian was also weighing the interests of this. What the Maqi Khan now needs is to preserve his strength and wait for the Liberians to launch a counterattack after fighting against the Tang army. Now he is considering whether it is of great significance to lose strength to capture a Gongming City.
"Juetian, I think it's safer to keep our defensive temporarily. If you can be sure that the Liberians will launch a war against the Tang Dynasty within one or two months, I think we can be more conservative, defend Yuejing here, block Anjie there, and maintain defense in the north. Although there is no way to see the Tang army in the north, we can't be careless. As for Maudan and Daliao, the men of the Nanyang Alliance are still arguing. It seems that the Tang people have bought a lot of the Nanyang Alliance members. Such behavior cannot make the Nanyang Alliance declare war on the Tang Dynasty immediately. We are a little slow in this regard. I plan to visit the Nanyang Alliance in person to prompt the Nanyang Alliance to declare war on the Tang Dynasty. In addition, when visiting the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it is also quite useful to be able to add more strength to our alliance at this time."
At this time, Bi Xili gradually regained his former confidence and perseverance, and his tone gradually became clear and affirmative. "Jei Tian, didn't you say that the Japanese are also actively contacting the Liberians? I think they can also use it. If the Liberians and we are both in a stalemate with the Tang Dynasty, they can suddenly send troops to land and fight from the Jiangnan and the East China Sea hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and take this opportunity to reach the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty's capital, then think about what kind of response this will bring?"
Lei Juetian's heart moved slightly. This was a very vicious plan. The Japanese are now panicked. The Tang Dynasty's prosperity has undoubtedly become the death knell of the Japanese. The Tang Dynasty has been blocking and trade embargo on the Japanese, and threatening that as long as the Japanese still occupied an inch of land that should belong to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will always be in a state of war with the Japanese. With the continuous increase in the power of the Tang Dynasty's naval power, the Japanese's advantage in the East Ocean gradually lost, and they were increasingly uneasy. The calls for the recapture of occupied territory within the Tang Dynasty are also increasing, and they have even been included in the agenda of the Tang Dynasty's military, which made the Japanese restless.
It is naturally a great thing they dream of to weaken the Tang Dynasty to the greatest extent and even dismember the Tang Dynasty. However, since they and the Duodu people still had territorial disputes because of occupying the other party's Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands, it seems that the negotiations with the Liberians were not going smoothly. If they could convince the Liberians to temporarily put aside the dispute and prompt the Japanese army to land at a critical moment, it would add a new force out of thin air. Even if it is not about how successful it can be achieved from a military perspective, it will definitely cause a great psychological and morale blow to the Tang Dynasty, and even affect the entire situation.
"Well, Your Majesty, this is a good idea. The Japanese army has expanded quite quickly, exceeding 250,000, and being able to defeat the Duoduan army proves that their combat effectiveness is not weak. Although most of them are stationed on the land they occupied now on defense, Liyuan Shanchuan is also a greedy person. As long as you have the opportunity, you will not give up on adventure and expansion. Giving him enough benefits and fear of the Tang Dynasty will definitely make him go all the way to participate in this battle, but they must be at the most critical moment
